Frequently Asked Questions

Do you still have questions about varicose veins? We answered some of the most common questions to address your concerns.

Do I Need to See a Doctor for Varicose Veins?

Yes, you should, especially if you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling, or skin discoloration. These symptoms may be signs of a more serious condition, like chronic venous insufficiency or even blood clots. A specially trained vein specialist can evaluate your veins and create a treatment plan to restore proper blood flow.

How to Treat Varicose Veins in Kids?

Though rare in children, they can develop varicose veins if there’s a family history of the condition. Most cases only require monitoring and healthy lifestyle changes. However, a specialist may suggest noninvasive treatments to prevent larger varicose veins from developing as the child grows.

What Is the Newest Procedure for Varicose Veins?

The latest treatments include laser ablation, radiofrequency therapy, and VenaSeal. These minimally invasive procedures close off faulty veins, allowing blood to flow more efficiently through healthier ones. They’re safer, faster, and more comfortable than traditional surgery, with quicker recovery times.

Does Insurance Cover Varicose Vein Treatment?

Your insurance will cover your vein treatment if it is deemed medically necessary. Varicose vein removal for cosmetic purposes is usually not covered. Always confirm with your provider before starting a treatment plan.

Can You Get Rid of Varicose Veins Without Surgery?

Yes, you can, especially if your varicose veins are mild to moderate. Non-surgical options like laser or radiofrequency treatments can close off damaged veins without the need for surgery. Combined with healthy habits, these can greatly reduce visible veins and prevent new ones from forming.
